KAMPUNGKU, KUALA IBAI.

Want to know about kampung ku?

Haven't heard about Kuala Ibai? Yea...never heard about it. Fine..., let me tell you about it.

Kuala Ibai is one of "mukim" or sub-district located in the District of Kuala Terengganu, in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia and populated with approximately 98% Malays.

If you are driving via trunk road along the coast from Kuantan, Pahang you will meet Kemaman, then Dungun, then Marang and the Bridge of Sungai Ibai, Kuala Terengganu. You might have to stop at a traffic light before continue your trip. This traffic light is on the side of Mukim Chendering, the southern neighbor of Mukim Kuala Ibai. Upon your exit from the bridge, you may find yourself at my kampung already. You will see a traffic light in front of you.

Now, ask yourself again, refer to your checklist, where is your destination. My reason is because the traffic light will decide your destination to some places of interest around this place. Remember, this is the first traffic light you've met upon your exit from the bridge.

If you turn to the right, you may spot the beautiful Tengku Tengah Zaharah's Mosque or well known as "Masjid Terapung" or Floating Mosque painted with white and Moorish design.

Just a little bit further you will have a junction. If you choose straight, you may have to stop or park your car for few minutes just to enjoy the Mosque's Recreational Park beside the river of Kuala Ibai.

After exit from this park, do not forget to turn right for a refreshment at the Trengganu Equestrian Resorts, a cheap resorts for you to stay after a long journey of the day. This resorts offer variety of in house activities and games to its guests and visitors such as bowling, badminton, squash, tennis and much much more. You may click their website at www.Terengganuequestrianresorts.com for further details about the resorts.

Now, let us go back to the traffic light which leaded you to the right. Drive straight for 1/2 km then you will find another place of interest. The beautiful 18 holes Ibai Golf Course is in front of you. If you are a golfer, try to visit the Clubhouse and get some information about the Course.

You may have opportunity to visit our traditional handcrafts producers such as batik and "songket" within walking distance from that traffic light, or just stop at nearby restaurants or food stalls for meals.

Welcome to my kampung.
